Bangalore: ‘Why Does BJP Yearn for Power in BBMP?’ Questions Kharge


Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Mar 24: Union labour minister, Mallikarjun Kharge, has questioned the propriety of the BJP, which is reluctant to use central funds for improving infrastructure in the city, in hankering to rise to power in Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

“As per a decision to release Rs 22,000 crore for the development of the city, the central government had released Rs 3,500 crore. However, the state government has not made use of this fund,” he revealed at a press conference held here on Tuesday March 23.

 

“Under National Urban Renewal Mission (NURM), the state used only 44% of Rs 330 crore released. The centre had released Rs 643 crore for modernization of storm drains in the city, but only Rs 243 crore has been utilized. Under the Green City project too, the government spent only Rs 6 crore as against Rs 177 crore released for environmental conservation projects. The BJP is reluctant to develop the city. Why does it want power in the City Corporation then?” he wondered.

    Kharge you cannot talk properly, you cannot walk properly. When you talk you talk like a Bone is stuck to your throat. You and Dharam Singh today is responsible for BJP coming to power in Karnatka. You and Dharam were both hungry for the CM Chair and were very upset when Krishna was bought into Karnataka by Sonia, telling him to leave the Governor post of Maharashtra. Sonia knew he will be the Congress candidate for CM post. But due to you and Dharam's objection Sonia had to pull out Krishna to the Centre fearing a split in the party and we lost elctions very badly as we had no proper candidate for CM post. Now you are just barking anything by coming to Karnataka again and again. Today Krishna would have been our CM if you and Dharam supported his candidature. Now see what a mess BJP has created in Karnataka. Not what you will do in BBMP elections ?
